fs: move kiocb_start_write() into vfs_iocb_iter_write()



In vfs code, sb_start_write() is usually called after the permission hook
in rw_verify_area().  vfs_iocb_iter_write() is an exception to this rule,
where kiocb_start_write() is called by its callers.

Move kiocb_start_write() from the callers into vfs_iocb_iter_write()
after the rw_verify_area() checks, to make them "start-write-safe".

The semantics of vfs_iocb_iter_write() is changed, so that the caller is
responsible for calling kiocb_end_write() on completion only if async
iocb was queued.  The completion handlers of both callers were adapted
to this semantic change.

This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.
